Upon the very Eve of Midsummer, when the sky was blue as sapphire and white stars opened in the East, but the West was still golden, and the air was cool and fragrant, the riders came down the North-way to the gates of Minas Tirith.
Then the King welcomed his guests, and they alighted; and Elrond surrendered the sceptre, and laid the hand of his daughter in the hand of the King, and together they went up into the High City, and all the stars flowered in the sky. And Aragorn the King Elessar wedded Arwen Undómiel in the City of the Kings upon the day of Midsummer, and the tale of their long waiting and labours was come to fulfillment.
starlightweave's wedding VP
wanted this incredible surprise me comm by @chocolamay to have its very own post~
When someday writing post game things for Silmë and Gale, I wanna slip in that Morena is surprised to find herself low key mad that she never gets to be like "SO WHEN ARE YOU HAVING GRANDCHILDREN????" bc Gale unexpectedly knocks Silmë up and she's like 2 or 3 months pregnant at their wedding 😂 (they get married the day before the epilogue bc they HAVE to have a beach wedding so it's gotta NOT be winter lol).
Fr I think now that Gale is married AND having a baby Morena is secretly like
"Well well well. So my son finally got married. And is going to be a father! I can't badger him about grandchildren anymore, can't badger him to have a relationship with a real person anymore - not that he let me, he was so protective of that relationship with Mystra AND LOOK WHERE THAT GOT HIM. By the gods, he finally listened to me, and now I don't know what to do with myself!"
Needless to say I think she would THROW herself into being a grandma 😂 . A little too much perhaps, I can see her Meddling™ too often - with good intent! But I've yet to speak to a woman whose mother in law or own mother didn't cause friction by insisting on doing things her way, even when nicely asked, and then told not to lol.
Morena is absolutely at her happiest in multi Tav AU, bc not only did her son FINALLY bring home a fiancee and is getting married, but bc she ALSO has Isidro to borderline adopt, fuss over, and badger about marriage and children 😂. And there is NO shortage of news and gossip for her thanks to Gale, Silmë, and Isidro's large friend group of fellow tadfools: what everyone's up to, how Minthy's baby is doing, how Xanaphia & Astarion get unexpectedly pregnant, Prince & Shads and their crazy twins or triplets situation 😂, and constantly asking when "that handsome Ravengard boy" is getting married 😂. This is all of course beyond the juicy af gossip you KNOW Withers is bringing her 🤣
Silmë and Xanaphia are OBVIOUSLY such a magical girl duo, they're BFFs, adorable, very pure, and very serious about sticking up for what's right: "We are the pretty guardians who fight for beauty and justice! In the name of the moon and the stars, we will punish you!"
But I am also realizing actually they're a magical girl trio bc ISIDRO is a magical girl too 😂 Bc if he ever hears about a serial fuckboy ghosting girls in baldur's gate, or giving them a hard time, chivalry mode activates and he's like "Vile cur! To toy with the hearts of sweet young maidens is unforgivable! In the name of Helm, I will punish you!"
So I got tomodachi life. Made Silmë first ofc, then Gale 🥰
I told her to talk to him about magic, then I put him in her house, and put him back out bc they weren't doing anything. He IMMEDIATELY went back inside. Then they were exercising and he was standing behind her staring at her butt (just like real life)
Next I made Isidro. LOOK AT HIMB 🥺 "easily commands the respect of others" why are the personality profiles so good lol
I introduced him to Gale. They stood like this. Bruh
Then went outside and proceeded to CHASE EACH OTHER AROUND LIKE SPONGEBOB AND PATRICK FOR A FULL 5 MINUTES
AFTER KNOWING EACH OTHER FOR ALL OF 8 SECONDS
sorry the video is shaking so bad but I took it from my phone bc my recording software wasn't set up, and i was fucking C R Y I N G while recording. i had to remove my shrieking audio to spare your ears lol
THEN we had to avoid disaster bc ISIDRO FELL IN LOVE WITH SILMË BC GALE TOOK A YEAR AND A DAY TO FALL FOR HER. Isidro was talking to her while Gale was asking me "wanna play guess that shadow" and I was like bro Mr Baja Panty Eyes himself is STEALING YOUR WOMAN, what are you DOING!?
Anyway, Isidro, papi, PLEASE, sit your horny ass down until I make Halsin 🤣
After we avoided that disaster, Isidro and Gale sat down together outside Isidro's house blushing and "sharing dark secrets nobody else can ever know" 😂 I'm laughing but also why tf is this game recreating how Isidro tells Gale before anyone else about being an oathbreaker.
FINALLY Gale and Silmë became sweethearts after he...said he noticed she likes him and he would give her the privilege of dating him 😂 Bro you were supposed to have the insane scene Isidro had, come on now
Now despite falling in love with Gale, this is what Silmë wanted to do with her life next. GIRL.
We also had to deal with this AGAIN. And not pictured: ASTARION falling in love with Silmë
Speaking of Astarion, he asked me what my most prized possession was and it got out of hand real fast. smdh even tomodachi life is trying to sling me the bl**dw3ave propaganda
Here's Xanaphia and her rose tinted glasses as she falls in love with our idiot vampire after he picked up her koala plushie that she dropped. Right out of a shoujo manga lol. She quickly progressed to head over heels, and then a whopping 38 mins later, her crush vanished completely after he bored her in one conversation.
BUT THEN. We had some SERIOUS drama. Gale and Silmë got into a fight OVER ARASENE 😂 The fact that Silmë has no problem with Gale making friends with Xanaphia but got SOOO JEALOUS over Arasene and REFUSED to listen to Xanaphia about not holding a grudge is priceless (in the Arasene universe, or any where Silmë isn't Tav, Gale meets her in Waterdeep a year or two post game; she's a little upset at first about his past with Arasene but gets over it quickly. Gale also doesn't give Silmë a hard time about her couple friends form back home that she's slept with, so, only fair).
GALE, however, listened to Isidro about not how grudges are bad, but ABOUT HOW ISIDRO WANTED TO SEE HIS SMILE AGAIN. Gale then apologized to Silmë for daring to get to know the woman he slept with in an alternative universe, LONG BEFORE he met Silmë lmao
Their feelings actually GREW after the fight: Gale went from in love to SUPER in love. And then 40 mins later this mf was READY TO MARRY HER. But she's still only in super love: accurate hehe
Guess who became good friends by talking about GALE
I'll leave you with some pics that encapsulate the energy of "This is my fiance, Gale, and his boyfriend, Isidro"

For mine is the choice of Lúthien and as she so have I chosen, both the sweet and the bitter. - Arwen Undomiel
Silmarien Telcontar-Telerin, Starlight Maiden of the Glade, Heir of Two Houses, a sorceress hailing from lineages of incredible power, preordained for greatness.
The Wizard of Waterdeep, the prodigy, once Chosen of Mystra, destined for greatness, felled into ignominy by ambition and pride.
An unexpected doom appointed upon them both when Silmarien's soft, small hand, dusted with lighting, placed itself in Gale's elegant one, slightly calloused and hiding the blighted blood underneath, and pulled him free of his fate: the doom of both the bitter and the sweet.
“Well, I’m sure as a wizard you’re more than capable of conjuring up such luxuries as feather pillows and beds for us all.”
Now that hit too close to the bruising mark on his chest, and what it had taken from him. He was about to quip back, when Silmarien continued, as she checked a blanket over for holes. “Not that I’d expect you to. We’re certainly all exhausted. But if you make one just for yourself, I won’t tell anybody.” She winked.
“Well, in that case, I'd make one for my fellow co-conspirator as well, for being kind enough to keep this just between us. I’m sure a few in this crowd would find something to complain about even if I conjured us up a house.”
She laughed, and he leaned ever so slightly towards her, to be closer to that lovely sound. Before today, just how long had it been since he’d made someone laugh?
prints of all the art I've commissioned or been gifted 🥰 too lazy to hang them up so far lol but wanted to share them~
I got these done at CVS for 11 bucks on sale, and as far as simple glossy prints go, they came out nice! So FYI if you're looking for affordable but still nice photo prints (yes I know the heart on Gale & Silmë's snook minimi one is cut off, I'm not sure how that happened bc I don't think it looked that way in the preview but it's nbd)
Oooooooo I see you reblogged the OC Music ask game! Imma take that opportunity and ask #3,6 and 13.
thanks for the ask! i'll do a random mix per what strikes me here. EDIT: i posted this too fast but it is now fixed lmao sorry about that, enjoy~
